Wetlands as Sites of Exposure to Water-Borne Infectious Diseases

摘要: Wetlands provide many essential and important ecosystem services to humans, resulting in our considerable reliance on exposure various wetland environments. A subset of microorganisms invertebrates commonly found wetlands can cause diseases some which are responsible for significant disease burden globally. As past outbreaks emergence arising from have shown, the combination predicted intensification extreme weather events, human needs land natural resources, biodiversity loss future likely drive transmission infectious diseases, an increasing water-borne particularly where sanitation infrastructure is poor. The importance preventing contamination, providing adequate preserving or restoring healthy, service-providing ecosystems as strategies risk mitigation therefore underlined. greater understanding complexities interlinked environmental, microbiological factors that lead infection should be objective research.
